"Fire dragon bloodline?"

The young man from the true lake sect was shocked when he saw Lina's entire body was covered in flames.

​​

'I should not give her the time to fully activate her bloodline,'

He didn't waste any time as he directly rushed towards the flames with his battle axe.

"Aqua slash"

He was confident in killing her as long as her bloodline is not activated. So, he used his most powerful skill at her.

His confidence came from the elemental advantage. In most of the case, water has a great advantage over the fire.

All of a sudden, his battle-axe was entirely covered by water which was formed by his internal energy and finally hacked at her.

'Die'

The young man's earlier fears disappeared because Lina was taking too much time to activate and he guessed that she still had not learned how to use her bloodline.

'Boom'

However, just when the battle axe was only a couple of inches away from Lina, the intensity of the fire on her body increased all of a sudden and evaporated the water on the battle-axe within an instant before blasting him away.

'Aargh'

The young man groaned in pain as he muttered, 'I was fast enough to use the pill given to me by sect leader Aedan.'

As for why would the bizarre zephyr's outer sect leader give something to the disciple of the true lake sect, only both the sects know.

"Since you wanted to kill me, I will return the favour and kill you; however, before that, why are you keen on killing me? As long as you give me the correct reason, I will live your corpse intact,"

Soon, the fire covering Lina disappeared; however, there her body was still glowing with a red halo.

She repeated the exact same words of the young man with a different condition.

"Even if you kill me, I will not say anything,"

The young man scoffed at Lina as he showed a resolute expression on his face.

"No no…I am not in a hurry to kill you without finding some answers from you,"

Lina slowly walked towards him and summoned an orange coloured flame as she replied to him.

'Aargh'

She didn't say anything and threw the flame at him that made him groan in pain.

She tortured him for 10 minutes before recalling the orange coloured flame back.

Surprisingly, there was not a single new wound on the young man's body even after torturing him for 10 minutes.

"Now, are you going to say or not? If not, I will continue to do it,"

Lina asked him with a cold smile on her face.

'Damn it...even though there are no injuries, I feel my soul is shaking little by little,'

The blue-robed young man remained silent as he thought, 'Where is Layala? Why is she taking this long to come here? It's been more than an hour since I crushed the talisman.'

"What are you thinking? Do you want to taste the pain once again?"

Lina urged him to choose an option for him.

"I will answer your questions. You can ask what you want to know," Recalling the pain from the earlier, the blue-robed young man hurriedly chose to answer her questions.

"Good"

The flames covering Lina retracted a little as she revealed a cold smile before asking him, "Why do you want to kill me? There is no feud between our sects, right?"

Actually, among the four sects, there is no feud between the true lake sect and the blazing inferno sect.

Moreover, Lina was sure that the young man in front of her didn't attack her for the treasure in her hands. He was searching for the students from her sect. So, she didn't kill him immediately and wanted to interrogate him.

'Should I say it?'

However, the young man became a little hesitant for a moment but he started answering, "I got a mission from my sect leader Mirah to kill the disciples from Blazing inferno sect and Terra nova sect."

While saying that, he was continuously looking into a specific distance as though he was waiting for someone.

"Is it because of not informing you about the treasure land?"

How could Lina not guess the reason? Even though she was only an energy condensation realm, she had more than enough knowledge about sects. So, she was able to guess correctly.

"That's right! The mastermind was the bizarre Zephyr sect. The outer sect leader Aedan came to meet us before coming to the treasure land and devise a plan to kill the disciples from the other two sects,"

He intentionally answered each and every question in slow and lengthy words. So that his fellow disciple would come to his rescue.

"Also, don't blame our sects because you clearly breached the agreement of informing about the treasure lands to all the sects,"

Before Lina could say anything, he started supporting his sect and said that it was the fault of the blazing inferno sect and terra nova sect for not informing the other two sects.

"Haha"

When she heard those words, Lina could not help but let out a loud laugh for a few moments before saying, "Let's assume that we are in the wrong. So, what about your sect and the bizarre zephyr sect? How many treasure lands did you inform us?"

"For the last 10 years, no treasure land appeared in your territory...my bad. You didn't inform us about those treasure lands saying that there were no treasure lands,"

"Just like your true lake sect, the bizarre zephyr sect did the same thing. So, what gives you the right to blame us,"

Lina said one sentence after another with a scoff.

After hearing all those words, the young man from the true lake sect's facial expression became ugly because everything she said was entirely true.

However, why will he agree to her words? So, he became stubborn and didn't agree with her words.

"It doesn't matter to me whether you agree to what I said or not. Also, I don't want to make you agree to my words. Now, you can go to hell,"

Finally, Lina got her answers from the blue-robed young man and decided to kill him.

As soon as she finished her words, she didn't waste any time and the flames covering her turned into a dragon's head before lunging onto the young man by opening its huge head.

'Aarghh'

Before the dragon head could reach him, he was scared shitless and loudly shouted.

'Hiss'

'Swoosh'

'Boom'

All of a sudden, a small snake appeared out of nowhere before dragging the young man out of the dragon head's range and successfully saved him.

'Huh?'

Lina frowned when she saw the sudden appearance of the water snake and hurriedly became alert.

"Edan, why the hell is your cultivation still level 1 energy condensation realm?"

Soon, from the distance, a cold female voice could be heard by Lina and when she saw the newcomer, she became anxious because the newcomer's cultivation was level 3 energy condensation realm.

She was wearing the same uniform as the young man in front of her.

'Run'

As soon as he evaluated the strength of the newcomer, she didn't waste a single second and used her bloodline power to escape with an incredible speed.

Finally, I was able to write a chapter....Phew
